It’s still pretty warm here in Los Angeles, but as the days grow shorter and colder temperatures start to creep in, it’s hard to resist the pull of spending your free time curled up indoors. For those of you who are planning to put in some quality time on the couch with a matcha latte this month, here’s a perfect chill playlist to relax to. Going out is overrated, anyways.
